Chelsea on the up

A lot has changed at Chelsea since Maurizio Sarri was
reportedly on the brink of being sacked last month after that 6-0 hammering by
Manchester City.

Through to the Europa League last eight and with a vital
game in hand today, the quest for a Champions League spot next season looks a
lot more inviting. If they can beat Everton, Chelsea will leapfrog Manchester
United, draw level on points with fourth-placed Arsenal and trail third-placed
Tottenham by a single point.

Everton haven’t won at home since the 13 January. No
wonder Marco Silva is asking for a “fantastic atmosphere” in his programme
notes.

Post update

Jurgen Klopp does his usual fist pumping celebration in front of the travelling fans but he's not quite as delirious as usual.

Liverpool's players don't look particularly pleased either. They were poor in the second half. Scott Parker looks a little crestfallen as he applauds Craven Cottage. Ryan Babel does the same - he was a bright spark for Fulham.

Are you not entertained?

There is only one word to describe Goodison Park
half an hour before kick off... Subdued. There were some cheers when Ryan Babel
scored for Fulham earlier, but the home fans are clearly not sure what to
expect this afternoon.
